| plumes, both curved and straight !,
will be quite the rage.
LEATHER of q light green tint is the
copular material for bags, belts, cards
passes, pocketbooks and wallets. 1t
comes in raised designs like repousse
liver.
The high collar of combination
dresses is usually made Of two mate
rails, the main part being like the cor
sage, while the piece above the plas-
tron Is OF the plastron material.
SHORT curls are again worn in the
nape OF the neck either below or inter-

in place by fancy hairpin.
AMONG new materials for fall MILL
merry are watered pushes and velvets
similar in design to MORE silks They
are rich and effective.
THE tide has turned infavor of silk,
and this material, which has latterly
been used only for special costumes
will again be used for general wear.
A PRETTY French bonnet is made of
pink silk batiste, wrought with Persian
embroidery and trimmed with tall
cluster Of pink crepe h0llyhocks min
gled with tender green foliage.
LOOSE blouse waists of white wash
silk are greatly used for lawn tennis
and they look particularly we'll with
navy blue skirts and open jacket
bodice.
Pockets for the outside Of the skirt
are to be introduced in the fall. They
will be long and slender, and be made
of velvet fastened with long loops OF
ribbon. They will hold g. handker'
chief, but are more for ornament than
use.
NOTHING is better for an everyday
travelling dress than shepherds plaid
wool. The draperies should be Ions
and plain and edged with rows o.
stitching. Such q dress is not ex
cessively warm, does not harbor dust
and looks cool In hot weather AND
comfortable in cold.
MANY tailor-made dresses of plain
material nave the vest and wide side
panel Of elaborate braiding on white
or contrasting color. On one side
Of the panel are buttons and on the
other buttonholes, looking as If the
skirt could be closed over it.
A NEW shade OF terra Gotta is prom
inent among the first importations o
fall dress goods and millinery. Itmay
be safely predicted that this color, as
we'll as dark Roman red, golden
bronze, gray, goblin blue and q dull
shade OF heliotrope will be much worn
during the coming season.
The pansy is the flower adopted fol

The real old chatelaine was q
pretty thing, and did not deserve to
be caricatured by the jingling arma-
ment which the summer girl calls by
it's name this season. With every step
she takes bon-bOn box clatters against
vlnaigrette, purse clashes upon tab
lets, the dangling fan swings this way
and that, and q hardware dealer's
collection OF chains by which the vari-
Gus articles of personal property are
suspended clanks till the listener fam
cies half dozen convicts have broken
loose. The chatelaine of q century
ago has belt ornament of antique
silver, whose simple hand finish, 70 ugh
and quaint as it is, never fails to
please the eye. From this hang the
small, old-fashioned scissors, the fat
little pin cushion and the house wife S
keys, articles which it did not require
fatiguing brain effort to find an excuse
for carrying. The old-time chatelaine
belonged to the house and not to the
promenade.
